The Kranz syndrome in the Eragrostideae (Chloridoideae, Poaceae) as indicated by carbon isotopic ratios*
13C/12C ratios are generally regarded as being very reliable indicators of C3 or C4 photosynthesis. These relative carbon isotope ratios are expressed as a negative δ 3C and fall into two distinct groups: Kranz (or C4) plants with δ between -9°/00 no and -18°/00 and non-Kranz (C3) plants with δ betw...
